A bottle having about the neck thereof at the mouth an annular flange which is partially separated on the upper side from the neck of the bottle by means Of a cutor groove, a cap adapted to fit over the mouth of such bottle and under the projecting ring which can be removed only by a blow breaking off the annular' flange, substantially as shown and described.

2. A bottle having a projecting ring or flange formed around the neck near the mouth of the same, with a groove on the upper side thereof partially separating the same from the neck of the bottle, a cap fitting over the mouth of such bottle, a flange of such cap fitting around and under such annular flange, such cap filled with sealing material, whereby it is held firmly in place, a seat over the mouth of the bottle separating the sealing material from the same, the whole adapted to be removed only by breaking away the annular flange, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a bottle, a sealing device consisting of a cap formed in two sections adapted to interlock with each other in place over the mouth of the bottle and filled with sealing material, an annular flange around the neck of thebottle at the mouth to hold on such cap and so made as to be readily broken off by a blow from beneath when it is desired to open such bottle, substantially as shown and described.

4. In a bottle, a sealing device consisting of a cap formed in two sections, such sections grooved about the inside periphery thereofso as to fit over an annular flange formed at the mouth of such bottle about the neck thereof, such flange so made as to be readily broken by a blow from beneath when it is desired to open such bottle, substantially as shown and described.

5. In a bottle, a sealing device consisting of two sections, both of such sections having flanges around the lower part of the same to fit over an annular flange about the neck ofthe bottle at the mouth thereof, one of such sections having as a part thereof a lid fitting over the entire top of the bottle, and on one side having a flange adapted to fit in a groove formed on the other section of such cap, whereby such sections when held in place by sealing material will effectually lock, substantially as shown and described.

G. In a bottle, a sealing device consisting of a ring about the neck at the mouth of the bottle, a cap formed in two sections, each adapted to fit over such annular flange, one of such sections having as a part thereof a lid fitting over the entire top of the bottle, and having a flange on one side adapted to fit in agroove in the smaller section of such cap, such section having a flange extending inwardly so that when such cap is filled with sealing material, the sealing material will be filled in between such fiange of the cap andthe annular flange on the neck of the bottle, whereby such section on the cap is held lirrnlyin place, substantially as shown and described.

7. In a bottle, a sealing device consisting of a cap formed in two sections, each section having a flange adapted to fit about and beneath an annular flange about the neck of the bottle at the mouth, one section of the same having a lid extending across the top of the boftle, and having a flange on the edge of such lid, the other section having a groove on the upper part thereof, so that the flange on such lid will fit in such groove and prevent such section from being moved outward, a fiange on the upper part of such smaller section extending inward with eement above and below it, so that it cannot be moved vertically, a seat fitted over the mouth of such bottle, such cap filled with sealing material, whereby the lower fianges thereof are held firmly against the lower part of such projecting ring around the neck of the bottle, and the upper parts are firmly held and locked together, so that such cap cannot be removed without breaking away such annular flange, substantially as shown and described.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands this 10th day of May, 1892.
